Lumpy Bumpy Stacked Snowmen Cookies ~ A Pinterest Inspired Christmas

Stacked Snowmen Cookies

So I decided that instead of making myself

near NUTS this Christmas season trying to come

up with fun new inventive ideas, I would take some

of the NEAT things I have pinned over the year on my

Christmas pinterest board and bring them to

LIFE - Sweetology style with my trusty

(and pretty cute) kitchen assistant, Sophia Rose. 

I have also made an early New Years Resolution

to try to get better with Royal Icing so I thought these

CUTE stacked snowmen from LilaLoa would

be so cute and easy for us to start with. 

I just love, love, love her blog!

To see her amazing inspiration click above or HERE! 

Well, as you can see ours are super lumpy and bumpy

but ya know what...I LOVE THEM!!!

We had a blast making them.  I added

the heart because making these cookies with

her really warmed my heart. 

Just what Christmas is all about right?    

Not so much perfect edges...

But perfect memories.

Stop back for more pinterest inspired

Christmas creations (oh and a few new ones from me too!)

Sweets of Christmas Past

GREETINGS!!

I thought I would share some popular

Christmas sweets I have made in the past

to get you in the spirit!  

Wow...I was busy last year!

By far the Grinch Pills and No Bake Reindeer

 were the BIGGEST success. 

 

I can't wait to make some more fun treats

and memories with my family.     

This year, instead of trying to come up with fabulous new ideas I am going to actually TRY some of the ideas I have

Pinned to my Christmas Board on Pinterest.

I will be sure to share the hits and misses - HA!!    

I don't spend enough time blogging

anymore to figure out how to link pictures

Home Sweet Home ~ Cupcake Style

There is no place quite like HOME.

James, Sophia and I were able to spend Thanksgiving 
with my most awesome Mom and Dad in Nebraska.

I love them so much.

When I am at home, there is just this hard to explain
sense of security and empowerment I feel. 

I love my life in MN.

By my heart aches leaving NE.

There is just no place like HOME.

    
This is my life in cupcakes today!
Have a great week.
Hug your family.  

   

Color Your Own Thanksgiving Cupcake Collars!!

Color Your Own

 Thanksgiving Cupcake Collars

I am a HUGE fan of fun things that involve

my daughter's creativity. This idea sprang up

this year given our busy schedules but desire

to make some fun Thanksgiving cupcakes.

This fun cupcake is something that ALL ages

can participate in on Thanksgiving and I 

think it is a FUN idea!! 

COLOR YOUR OWN TURKEY

All you have to do is print the cupcake

collar template ( see link below cardstock preferred),

 have your child color the turkey as Sophia did here....

So CUTE!

Bake some yummy cupcakes and then frost.

The last step would be to cut out the circle 

in the template and finally just place around

your super awesome CUPCAKE!

EASY and SO CUTE!!

I also made this fun Turkey Leg cupcake collar!     

Cardstock paper is a definite must.

We had a blast making a few of these turkeys &

when we put them all together, each personality

was sure to shine through! I made mine PASTEL!   

I am not the best with attaching images for printing

on my blog but you can try to download the images for

printing yourself by clicking HERE. 

Or feel free to email me and I can send you 

the word document file I created.     

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Thanksgiving Head Dress Cupcake ~ November Cake Challenge Project!!!

Thanksgiving Head Dress Cupcake

It is always awesome to get emails from amazing blogging friends asking to participate in a fun themed project.

BUT...it is even MORE awesome when the request comes from

a group as AWESOME as these gals!!

Kathia from Pink Little Cake  and 

Melissa from The Baked Equation  

need a big THANK YOU for coordinating this awesome

November Cake Challenge Project!!

We were asked to come up with a fun

cupcake topper, cookie, cake or recipe to share. 

I spotted these CUTE cupcake wrappers on Etsy

and they became the inspiration for a few ideas!!

CLICK HERE FOR THE ETSY LISTING!!

To assemble the topper you need colored fondant

in cream, orange, red, green, brown and yellow.

I cut the circle and then used a small teardrop cutter to 

form the different leaves.  I hand cut out the green grass. 

Just assemble as you see in the photo! 

I hope you like it!
